You can use them in loops for iterations.

Answer 9

You are liking your own answers and being sarcastic with your last answer.

You seem wise enough to ask a decent question with some code terminology yet you do not comprehend an "iteration"?

Answer 10

All your exclamations suggest sarcasm.

I apologize if that's not the case.

Yes, increments and decrements are used for repetitive runs (iterations) inside loops until the end result has been achieved.
